"I just picked up on a 'unique' idea on the #MCL38.
The lower front wishbone & steering rack are reversed!
Not new in historical terms, but new in the current formula.

Now the steering rack is behind the front axle line, with its trackrod sitting below/behind the wishbone.
Usually its the opposite, the rack mounting the front of the car, easy to access and connect the steering wheel/column to.

This change is likely to be purely aerodynamic, but does open up options for steering Ackerman geometry.
All three lower suspension elements are³ in a cascade helping drive downwash towards the underfloor tunnels.
I'd love to see rack in situ and the steering column routing "
